Humble Chicken is a 18-seat tasting counter with a changing menu from Angelo Sato and John Paul.  Chef Angelo Sato is inspired by his Japanese and European roots.  He moved to London at 17 and 10 years later in 2021 he opened a Yakitori bar.  It was so popular that in 2023 he elevated the concept to a tasting menu only and named it the Humble Chicken.  Well paired is Aidan Monk, Restaurant and Beverage Manager, who runs the counter operations and selects the pairings.  While young Chef Sato is personable, Monk made the evening a special event.  Seatings are staggered at 6, 7:30 and 8:45 and the timing didn’t lag to make everyone finish together.  Instead people were coming and going at the L-shaped granite counter while music pulsed in the background and soft globe lights illuminated the food nicely.  The front of the place is all windows to the street which I’m sure attracts some visitors.  The menu was on the counter but you do receive a clean copy with a tea bag at the end of the meal.  This place had good food, some great, and shows much potential in the composition so I’d recommend you try it.  Relax on the comfy seats and you’ll have a wonderful evening.  They have one Michelin star. (Note – they were awarded two Michelin Stars in the 2025 guide) Continue reading →
